Between July 16th and 23rd, it is estimated that around 1,562 movements will be recorded, which is up 75.7% compared to the 889 clocked up in the same period last year. For July 9th to 16th, the numbers remained pretty similar, with 2021 numbers being recorded at 1,572 compared to 892 in 2020. 

Compared with 2019 numbers, Los Angeles is only under 400 aircraft movements away from where it was then. This hints at significant rebounds in travel from the area.

Domestic travel rebounding

Domestic leisure travel has fully recovered to 2019 levels, which Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian attributed to the airline generating a $652 million profit in their financial revealings nearly a week ago. 

That is the first time since the pandemic began that the airline generated a profit.

Overall, for airports such as Los Angeles International Airport, the numbers continue to rise up and up. With air travel more or less in the same position as 2019 now, the focus will be to continue on that growth spurt once again.
